Ask HN: student service ideas in a developing country?
1 points by arym 4470 days ago
I live in a less-developed country, where university students aren't well treated neither by staff & faculty (underestimated and humiliated), nor by government (51 USD/Mo scholarship for ~40%, no housing, no dining, no students services), nor by companies coming just for low-paid hard-coders and unpaid interns.

I endured studying in these circumstances, and finally graduated with a MSc in Computer Science.

Now, I decide to make something valuable in honour of the student community; a service that students deserve; which take in consideration student dignity and help to restore student confidence and hope.

I'm looking for a startup or a small business idea, which can generate income just for me and 2 other friends (our team), just to survive and doing research! But most importantly offer the first awesome quality service for students.

I can make web apps, and have access to some student infos (name, university, classOf). I also have access to cloud services via a restricted credit card! I can have mobility to national universities.

Do you have some ideas and/or advice to share?

Sorry for my English mistakes if any!
